AWS CDK Assessment Test

An AWS CDK (Cloud Development Kit) Assessment Test evaluates candidates for their proficiency in using AWS CDK, a software development framework for defining cloud infrastructure as code using familiar programming languages. This assessment typically covers the following aspects:

1. AWS CDK Basics: Assessing candidates' understanding of the core concepts of AWS CDK, including constructs, stacks, and the CDK CLI.
2. Programming Language Proficiency: Evaluating candidates' proficiency in programming languages supported by AWS CDK, such as TypeScript, Python, Java, and C#.
3. Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Testing candidates' ability to define cloud resources and infrastructure using AWS CDK constructs, such as aws-cdk.core, aws-cdk.aws-s3, aws-cdk.aws-ec2, etc.
4. Stack Management: Assessing candidates' skills in managing AWS CDK stacks, including creating, updating, and deleting stacks using the CDK CLI or programmatically.
5. Deployment Pipelines: Evaluating candidates' knowledge of setting up deployment pipelines for AWS CDK applications using tools like AWS CodePipeline and AWS CodeBuild.
6. CloudFormation Integration: Testing candidates' understanding of how AWS CDK translates high-level constructs into AWS CloudFormation templates and manages the underlying resources.
7. Best Practices: Assessing candidates' familiarity with best practices for designing AWS CDK applications, including modularization, reusability, and maintaining infrastructure as code.
8. Testing and Validation: Evaluating candidates' ability to write unit tests and perform validation checks for AWS CDK constructs to ensure the correctness of infrastructure definitions.
9. Security: Testing candidates' knowledge of implementing security best practices for AWS CDK applications, such as IAM policies, resource permissions, and encryption.
10. Monitoring and Logging: Assessing candidates' understanding of integrating AWS CDK applications with monitoring and logging services like Amazon CloudWatch for metrics, alarms, and logging.
11. Cost Optimization: Evaluating candidates' skills in optimizing costs for AWS CDK deployments by leveraging features like AWS Cost Explorer, AWS Budgets, and cost allocation tags.
12. Advanced Topics: Testing candidates' proficiency in advanced AWS CDK topics, such as custom constructs, aspect-based customization, using AWS SDKs with CDK, and integrating third-party libraries.

Overall, our AWS CDK Assessment Test measures candidates' knowledge, coding skills, and ability to develop and manage cloud infrastructure using AWS CDK, providing you with valuable insights into their capabilities.
